Lyrics

The law was very firm, it
Took away my permit
The worst punishment I ever endured
It turned out there was a reason
Cows were out of season
And one of the hunters wasn’t insured
People ask me how I do it
And I say, “There’s nothin’ to it
You just stand there lookin’ cute
And when something moves, you shoot!”
And there’s ten stuffed heads
In my trophy room right now
Two game wardens, seven hunters
And a pure-bred Guernsey cow
